Garden & Studio Tour
I've been invited to take part as one of the stops in a local garden tour this year! My garden is a native, intentionally wild space, a little different from the more traditional manicured garden tour style, and closely tied to the inspiration behind my work. Visitors will be able to explore the garden, with seeds available to take home, as well as step into my studio to see where my jewellery is made. More details to come.
June 20th 11:00 am-4:00 pm
Strawberry Social Market
Join me at the Strawberry Social Market & Mingle at the beautiful Applewood Farm & Winery! This event is actually what inspired my wild strawberry collection, created for last year's market, and I'll be bringing it back again along with new work.
It's a vibrant and welcoming community event, set at a fabulous winery. I'm looking forward to returning and would love for you to join me!
July 18th 10:00 am - 4:00 pm (Rain Date July 19th)
Lavender Bloom Market
Join me again this year at Little Britain Lavender Farm for their gorgeous Lavender Bloom Market. This special event brings together local makers, small businesses, and community members for a beautiful day at the farm during lavender season.
The vendors offering a unique and diverse range of products to help make this year’s market another memorable community event.
Make sure you bring your camera for those photo-ops, and maybe even your picnic blanket to enjoy lunch or a snack amongst the flowers while you're here.
